I guess no one has told him that the electric car and trucks haven’t been engineered to the same level as gasoline and diesel engines yet.......................

Funny thing about that, electric cars have been around as long as gasoline and diesel cars. Even longer. First prototypes in 1828. First hauler in 1837. So they've had 180 years to engineer them, but they're still not up to the tasks that gasoline and diesel autos perform.

Gasoline engine prototypes appeared about 1870, production gasoline autos in 1885. So gasoline powered cars are the newcomers. Electric and hydrogen powered cars predated them by half a century.

After 180 years of engineering work performed on electric vehicles, they still need many more years of work before being able to replace the gasoline powered auto. Perhaps decades of engineering work.
